One of Richard's favorite quotes is:"1. "Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure...than...Expand for more
to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." So get out of your gray twilight zone!!
2. “One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!”".
More about Richard:"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he/she is right, and part with him/she when he/she goes wrong."
"Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.".
